Global Millionaire Statistics: How the U.S. and Other Countries Compare

While only 1.1% of the global population has a net worth of $1 million or more, the figure varies significantly by country. In the U.S., 6.6% of Americans are millionaires, compared to 4% in China, 4.2% in France, and 7.3% in Australia. Financial experts Brian Preston and Ban reveal that it typically takes 27 years for Americans to accumulate their first million and an additional 14 years to reach billionaire status, highlighting the long-term journey to significant wealth.

  1. You will find that number in Australia is dependent on politicians ,mining companies and forieners that brought there money here also the house prices have doubled in the last 6 or 7 years so alot of that net worth is probably divided between the banks as everyone re mortgaged there home we learned how to inflate our value from the best aka Americans 😂

  2. That’s just what’s on the books and what we know about. There’s a lot of people that got a lot of dirty money that the stat takers don’t know about. I’m just saying but good video thank you. Always appreciate your content.

  3. Actually, the numbers are MUCH LOWER. Why? You should be counting LIQUID ASSETS which do not include your home or business. So a high net worth persaon has 1-5 Million, a very high net worth person has 5-30 million, and an ultra high net worthnperson has 30+ million. 1% of the US population for the first catagory, 800K people in the whole US for the second, and about 380k total in the US of 330 million people in the US for the third. Why is this more accurate? BANKS USE THIS TO DETERMINE YOUR WEALTH. These are hard catagories to reach. Ask any banker or look at Forbes for the answer.

  4. Keep in mind a million is not worth much anymore on many regions.

    You can be quite poor and have propety worth 2 million but selling would mean you need to move far away from family because you could not afford rent.

    You can have a good paying job and you will accumulate a million in 20 years but at that point the housing market made that 1mil property worth 3 mil and still you cannot buy shit

  5. Beacuse alot of aussie make good coin in mines or trucking pretty sure also idk how much the lotto would of helped us out haha since we only got a small population

  6. It's just a bad comparison considering the fact that it converts to only $640,000 US. Try using the Iranian Rial. You'll have to be a millionaire just to enjoy a $50 meal with your date.
